ISC and Stroke Nursing Symposium 2013 Abstract Submission

The American Heart Association/American Stroke Association maintains the highest standards for abstract acceptance and program development. The goal is to bring a spectrum of the very best stroke science to ISC — from the most basic research to patient-based studies to large clinical trials. The science covers a vast array of topics in 21 categories, including emergency medicine, diagnosis, interventional treatments, nursing and rehabilitation. 

High-scoring abstracts will be featured at a variety of prominent forums at ISC, including the plenary sessions, oral abstract sessions, and moderated poster sessions. Be sure to submit your abstract during the regular summer abstract submission period (May 23 - Aug 14.) The acceptance for late-breaking science (submitted in October) is quite low. Late-breaking science is only the exceptional work that could not be submitted at an earlier date, and it often relates to trials that only come to fruition at the late-breaking deadline. Do not wait until the late-breaking deadline but rather aim for the summer deadline. The vast majority of presentations that will be selected will be those submitted during the summer.
